Magnus:
Alec: Hey Magnus.
Magnus: What might my wonderful shadowhunter be doing?
Alec: Well we are taking a break from training. We're going to start to start again in 10 minutes. How about you?
Magnus: Missing those icy blue eyes of yours… When can I see you?
Alec: Well… We should be done around 4. I could take a shower and come over around 5?
Magnus: Excellent! My last client should be finished around 5:30. How about I make us dinner and we can spend the rest of the night cuddling and watching project runway? :)
Alec: Uhh… Dinner sounds nice… I don't know about project runway though…
Magnus: But darling! :(
Alec: …
Magnus: Fine… maybe some cuddling though?
Alec: Deal and I have to go. Jace is calling.
Magnus: Okay Alec. I love you.
Alec: I love you too Magnus.
Magnus smiled to himself at Alec's last message and gently slid his phone back into his pocket. It was 3:45 and Magnus had already seen eight clients today. He was a little pissy but luckily he only had one client left, who was supposed to be there at four. Supposedly they wanted something with the book of white but Magnus wasn't going to let them anywhere near his book. He tried getting a hold of the stranger to cancel but he could never get in touch with him. Instead when his guest arrived he would politely shoo them out and spend the rest of his Valentine's Day with his wonderful boyfriend. Sure, Magnus had seen Alec all last night at his party and this morning but he couldn't get enough of that boy.
Chairman Meow suddenly brought Magnus out of his thoughts when the white little fluff ball jumped onto his lap. Magnus couldn't help but smile at the little feline. All it wanted was some love and attention, but ever since Alec came into Magnus's life, all that affection was spent on him.
Magnus smiled at the cat and scratched it behind its ears; silently apologizing for his lack of attention. Chairman Meow closed its eyes and nuzzled into Magnus's touch, indicating that he forgave him. The small cat then curled into Magnus's side and began purring. Sometimes Magnus whished he could just curl up and take a nap whenever he wanted, but he couldn't. He was the High Warlock of Brooklyn and he hardly ever got a day off…
And as if on cue, there was a knock on the door. He didn't lock his building door but he made sure to keep the door to his flat locked at all times. Magnus quickly looked at his phone and saw that it was 3:55; at least his client was early and not late.
Magnus sighed and pushed Chairman Meow over a little so he could get up. Magnus got up from the couch and gracefully strode over to the door. He decided not to open the door just yet. Instead he just yelled through the door.
"I'm sorry but you're just wasting your time. There is no way you're getting anywhere near the book of white, no matter the circumstances." Magnus barked through the door.
There was a moment of silence before a muffled reply was heard through the wood.
"I'm sorry but that is not the only thing I require…" The voice sounded slightly familiar.
Magnus thought about it for a moment before beginning to unlock the latches. The least he could do was listen to what the person had to say.
"And what might that be?" Magnus questioned as he unlocked the last latch and swung open the door.
Magnus's breath caught in his throat as he peered into those radiant purple eyes, staring right back at him. Magnus took a few steps back from the door out of shock. His "client" however cocked a smirk on his face and followed Magnus into his apartment. Once he was inside the threshold he gently shut the door behind him and locked it.
"You." Vladimir grinned.
Alec swiped away a small section of his fogged up mirror so he could see the reflection of his face. The 30 minute shower he just took did wonders to his sore muscles and now he had to inspect his towel dried hair. The black mop on his head was messier than ever but he managed to tame some of the wild strands by combing it with his fingers. Once he was satisfied, Alec shut off the bathroom light and made his way into his bedroom.
His gear from the training session was scattered haphazardly around his room, obviously thrown off in a haste to get into the shower. Alec sighed and decided to clean it up some other time. The only thing he was focused on at the moment was getting to Magnus's. He gripped the towel around his waist and trudged over to his semi-messy dresser, in an attempt to find something to wear. Alec pulled open the top drawer and picked out the first pair of black boxers and socks he saw. He quickly dropped his towel and pulled the articles of clothing on in case anyone happened to walk into his room.
After he pulled on his undergarments he shut his top drawers and went to the bottom ones. Inside he found a pair of jeans that Isabelle had bought him a while back. They hung low on his hips and looked like something a guy from a Hollister ad would wear. He decided that Magnus would probably appreciate them and quickly pulled them on over his boxers.
Just as Alec buttoned the last notch on his jeans, his phone started vibrating. Alec sighed and strode over to his nightstand; shirtless and damp from the shower. Once Alec reached his bed he gracefully flopped down onto his sheets and snatched his phone off the nightstand. He rolled over onto his back and flipped open his phone. The screen lit up and glowed, indicating that he had a new message from Magnus. Alec smiled to himself and hit the 'view now' button to read it.
Alec's smile quickly faded and his jaw dropped as he read the message over and over again. His heart clenched inside his chest and he was frozen to the spot on his bed. He couldn't believe what was going on. Why would Magnus say such a thing?
Magnus: I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry. Goodbye Alec.
Magnus couldn't possibly be leaving him… could he? A single tear escaped from the corner of Alec's eye as he sunk back into the confines of his sheets. What could Alec have possibly have done for Magnus to send that? Was it something he did today? Was it something that happened at the party?
That's when it hit him… The party…
Alec remembered walking in on Vladimir and Magnus just before midnight. They were locked at the lips but Magnus eventually pushed him off with anger in his eyes. Magnus looked distraught and Alec took that as a good sign that whatever they had wasn't there anymore… that Magnus loved Alec.
Could that all have been a show? A show to fool Alec? No… it couldn't have been,
Alec's sorrow quickly turned to rage as he flew up from the bed and stormed over to his closet. He quickly threw on a black t shirt, pulled his shoes on, grabbed his phone, and slammed the door to his room. Alec stormed down the hallway, blowing past Isabelle who looked sincerely worried at her brother's newfound fury. Alec didn't care to comfort her at the moment. All he cared about was getting to Magnus's and demanding an explanation.
As Alec stepped inside the elevator and went to shut the doors, he caught a glimpse of the hurt on Isabelle's face. He tried to mask the most apologetic look on his face before shutting the doors, and riding the elevator down to the first floor. The doors opened up and Alec stormed over to the Institutes doors, throwing them opening and stepping out onto the streets of New York.
He was going to Magnus's and nothing could stop him now.
Alec was out of the taxi and had his money thrown to the driver before the cab even came to a complete stop. Alec quickly slammed the door shut and took long strides up to the door of the warlock's apartment building. Instead of ringing the buzzer like he normally would have, Alec threw open the door in his anger filled haze and began his sprint up the stairs to Magnus's apartment.
When Alec reached Magnus's door he quickly jerked on the knob but to no avail would it budge. The door was locked. Alec grumbled to himself and fished around in his pockets looking for the key that Magnus had given him when they first started dating.
"You've got to be kidding me…." Alec argued with himself when he pulled his hands out of his pockets with nothing.
He had forgotten to grab the key off his dresser when he was getting dressed. Alec really had hoped to be able to storm into Magnus's apartment without any interruptions but without his key then that couldn't be possible. Magnus was going to have to open the door for him.
Alec inhaled a deep breath and banged his fists on the warlock's door like a cop would do.
"MAGNUS BANE YOU BETTER OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Alec bellowed through the wood.
He waited a few moments, trying to listen to any indication that might prove that Magnus was in his apartment. Alec heard a door opening and closing, probably his bedroom, and a few footsteps coming near the door. The footsteps stopped right in front of the door but the door remained closed. Alec was beyond frustrated at this point. Magnus was obviously mocking him by just standing there; this made Alec lift his fists and relentlessly beat against the door again.
"MAGNUS I KNOW YOUR IN THERE YOU ASSHOLE! OPEN THE DOOR!" Alec was raging.
There was a series of locks unlatching and Alec quit beating on the door but didn't remove the scowl on his face. After a few more locks and the door was open, revealing the tall warlock in all his glory. His hair was spiked up in its signature style and his attire was as colorful at it ever was. His makeup consisted of black eyeliner, purple and silver eye shadow, black mascara, and a thin sheen of clear lip gloss.
"Yes….?" Magnus drawled out in an annoyed tone.
Alec was dumbfounded. Magnus had just broken up with him, for no apparent reason at all and he was lounging in his doorway without any emotion on his face.
"You break up with me in a text, for no reason at all, and all you can say is yes…?" Alec screamed at the top of his lungs.
Magnus didn't even flinch at his words; he just stood there looking at him looking annoyed. Magnus shrugged his shoulders and strode back into his apartment. This wasn't going to go well at all. Alec quickly caught the door and followed Magnus inside.
"Uhm… HELLO? I want some answers!" Alec yelled. He was done trying to be nice.
Magnus stopped in his tracks, and turned around to look at Alec with his arms folded across his chest.
"Like what? Don't you understand what breaking up means?" Magnus questioned with a scowl on his face.
Alec was a little taken aback by how Magnus didn't seem to care about him at all. It was almost like it wasn't even the same Magnus…
"How? After everything we've been through… you can't just end it like that!" Alec lowered his voice a little but still kept the same amount of anger.
"I can, and I did. Like I said Alec, it's just not working for me anymore… The love is gone." Magnus drawled out, seeming annoyed.
"How could you say that?" Alec's voice was at a scream again. "You're just going to throw all we have away? Magnus… I…" Alec was beginning to get chocked on his words as tears threatened to spill.
Magnus narrowed his eyes and looked down at Alec. Alec couldn't see any trace of emotion. No. This wasn't his Magnus… this was a monster who was pretending to be him. His Magnus would never look at him this way. He would never end something as beautiful as what they had. It just wasn't him.
But there he was, staring at him with cold and heartless eyes… no trace of love or emotion. Alec never would have believed it if he wasn't witnessing it in front of his own eyes.
"You what Alec?" Magnus snapped at him rather viciously.
"I… Well- I…" Alec chocked on the hard lump forming in his throat.
Alec took a deep breath and blinked back the tears he was holding in.
"I love you Magnus…" Alec managed to whisper.
There was a moment of silence that passed between the two boys and the more time that pressed on, the more worried Alec became. All of a sudden, a big, evil, smirk managed to make its way up on Magnus's face. His eyes were full of disgust and Alec just wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out.
"You don't know what love is shadowhunter… Look at you; how pathetic. You thought what we had was love? HA! I never loved you…" Magnus growled between his teeth.
It took Alec a moment for Magnus's words to make sense inside his head; but when they did it felt like Alec's whole world was falling out of orbit. It felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest by the love of his life… The room was spinning and Alec's knees started to become weak. Alec couldn't fight back the tears any longer as they flooded in rivers over his eyelids. A few strangled sobs managed to escape from his throat as Alec turned away from this monster and sprinted towards the door, with no intention of turning back.
The love of his life had just shattered his heart, and Alec didn't think it could ever be repaired.
Tears escaped out of Alec's eyes and a few sobs escaped from his lips before he was running a mile a minute out of Magnus's flat. Vladimir smirked at how soft the boy was. Once the door shut, Vladimir silently strode over to hallway mirror to look at his reflection. The face staring back at him was not his own, but a very sparkly warlock. Vladimir smirked at his accomplishment and looked down at the book of white flipped open to a certain page in front of him. Vladimir quickly skimmed over the last remaining words on the page.
To transform back into your original state; look at your reflection, touch the main focal points on your face, and speak the words 'noisulli' clearly.
Vladimir smiled and shut the book of white and looked back into the mirror. He carefully stared into the cat eye's that were looking back at him and touched all the main focal points on his face; above his eyes, below his chin, and in the middle of his forehead.
"Noisulli…" Vladimir spoke with the utmost fluency and watched as the form in the mirror began to change.
Suddenly, the colorful highlights in his hair faded and his midnight black hair grew shorter. Next his angular cheek bones changed shape along with his neck and jaw line and slowly but surely all of Vladimir's features returned to normal. The only thing left that weren't normal where the yellow cat eyes staring back at him. As the last part of his body returned to normal, Vladimir smiled and blinked his eyes. When he opened them he no longer had cat eyes but his signature, purple, wolf eyes.
The transformation spell had been a success and everything went according to plan. Vladimir turned his back on the mirror and made his way over to Magnus's bedroom and flung the door open. He chuckled to himself as he threw Magnus's phone onto his bed and strode over to his closet door. Vladimir smiled to himself as he opened the closet door and flipped on the light.
Vladimir smirked at the scene in front of him. There, in the middle of the floor, was Magnus; he had a gag and tape wrapped around his mouth, while his hands and feet were bound by some magical rope. A series of muffled yells and words came from the raged warlock but Vladimir couldn't seem to care.
"Looks like its just me and you now Magnus…"
